For what value of x is PQ || BC? A 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In\: \triangle ABC\\\overline{PQ} \parallel \overline {BC}.. (given) \\

Therefore, by Basic Proportionality theorem:

\frac{AP}{PB} = \frac{AQ}{QC} \\\\\therefore \frac{x}{x+7} = \frac{x-3}{x+1} \\\\ \therefore \:  \frac{x - x - 7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{x - 3 - x - 1}{x + 1}  \\ (by \: dividendo) \\  \\  \frac{ - 7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{ - 4}{x + 1}  \\  \\  \frac{7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{4}{x + 1}  \\  \\ 7x + 7 = 4x + 28 \\  \\ 7x - 4x = 28 - 7 \\  \\ 3x = 21 \\  \\ x =  \frac{21}{3}  \\  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 7}}

mestny [16]

Answer:

c. we are 99% confident that the true mean age of horses with laminitis is between 6.3 and 7.4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that veterinary researchers at a major university veterinary hospital calculated a 99% confidence interval for the average age of horses admitted for laminitis, a foot disease that leaves the horse severely lame, as 6.3 to 7.4 years.

i.e. if X is the age of horses admitted for laminitis then the sample mean i.e. x bar follows a distribution with 99% confidence interval as

(6.3,7.4)

The interpretation of 99% confidence interval is the for sample of large size drawn at random from population we can be 99% confident that the sample mean will fall within this interval.

So the correct option is

c. we are 99% confident that the true mean age of horses with laminitis is between 6.3 and 7.4 years old.

In mostar, bosnia, the ultimate test of a young man's courage once was to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (now destroyed) into th
Alex787 [66]

To solve this problem, we must assume that the man undergoes constant acceleration as he goes down the river (therefore no other forces must act on him except gravity). Therefore we can use the formula below to calculate for the duration of his fall:

y = y0 + v0 t + 0.5 a t^2

where y is the distance and y0 = 0 since we set the reference point at the bridge, v0 is the initial velocity and is also equal to v0 = 0 since the man started from rest, therefore the equation becomes:

y = 0 + 0 t + 0.5 a t^2

y = 0.5 a t^2

Rewriting in terms of t:

t^2 = 2 y / a

t = sqrt (2y / a)

a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

t = sqrt [2 * 23 / 9.8]

t = 2.17 s

 

Therefore the jump last only about 2.17 seconds.
